Ola Pacifica

Hawkes Bay (New Zealand)

One of the few vertically integrated chocolate companies in the world; Ola Pacifica grow, manufacture and distribute their own cacao products, ensuring control over cacao quality and the treatment of growers, as well as impact on the environment.

Launched in 2011, they import cacao beans from their own family and village owned plantations in Samoa to Hawkes Bay in New Zealand, where they focus on minimal ingredients and processes to maximise flavour.
